Philosopher Manly P. Hall's
greatest strength, his moralism,
is also his greatest weakness,
his blindness.
To the extent
that we hold
on to morality,
we condemn
and therefore
devalue the
world as it is
because life
is immoral
and cynical.
Power, not
morality,
is the reality
of existence,
because
morality
is itself
power
for she
too seeks
to establish
trust in her
favour.
